March 5 Get Together
 
On Saturday, March 5, the Alfred clan is inviting folks to the southside. Meet at Outlaw's BBQ (SW 73rd & May) at 5 PM. After supper, come to our house to watch cheesy movies, talk, and also decide what to do with the couple of hundred bucks STAR has in the bank.

If you have questions, email me at msuperfan@cox.net.

The emphasis is on fun and being family-friendly. You can bring an ex-parrot if you like. In the meantime, Happy Valentine's Day
